Abstract: A growing trend in agriculture is the use of mobile applications or apps on smartphones. Through the apps, farmers may obtain all information and answers with a single tap. Information about pests and diseases, scheme-related facts and the specifics of the package of practices are all kept in mobile devices for convenient access. Small-scale farmers make up the bulk of Indian farmers. They frequently lack access to the technological and informational resources that could help them raise the productivity of their crops and products and obtain higher prices. The ubiquitous mobile phone network provided a solution to this issue. The majority of apps are only useful for a certain amount of information, while some have multiple uses. This study examines the mobile applications for agriculture that are accessible in India and are intended for farmers. It is more likely that mobile apps in the agricultural and related industries will become more integrated and dependent. In the present study the Plantix application more effective as it is informative, simple and easy to use app.
